non-drinker, non-weirdo (60188, Carol Stream, Illinois)
I realize that sets me apart from ninety percent of the people who post on here! But it describes both me and the kind of guy I'm looking for.I am a nice, normal, decent, intelligent, well-educated, non-drinking, non-smoking, non-fanatical Christian woman with good morals. I'm 5'9'', 140 lbs. (a healthy, HWP thin), white, with straight teeth and decently good looks. I am 40, but most people take me for a lot younger. A couple friends of mine recently confessed that they'd been trying to figure out why I'm still single... and hadn't been able to come up with anything except a shortage of compatible men. I figure that is a pretty high compliment!I am a software systems engineer, balanced with ballroom, country, and swing dancing and organizing a good-sized meetup group for similar people. I love solving real-world problems. I've had dogs all my life. I've had my current dog for over 15 years. I'm allergic to cats. I listen to mostly country music, though I am compelled sometimes to fix their grammar! :) I am addicted to learning new things. Most of the TV shows I watch are cop or doctor dramas, nerdy sitcoms, or melodramatic spoofs, but I reserve the right to watch a tear-jerking chic drama. I like action movies, where right wins and evil loses. A friend of mine once told me I am the most normal, logical woman he's ever met, but I reserve the right to sometimes do something outside the box -- just for shock value -- like show up with a temporary tattoo! Ha! (OK, yeah, that's about the craziest thing I've ever done. :)My flaws? I'm not the neatest person in the world. I'm not a slob, but I think people should call before coming over so I have time to clean! I'm more apt to be late than early, but I've been improving on that and am now sometimes early and it isn't even an accident! I am also a compulsive problem solver, so don't tell me a problem if you don't want suggestions and/or help fixing it. Misspellings and poor grammar drive me crazy, so please don't torture me! And debt makes me feel something akin to claustrophobia or drowning; if you have debt, please don't ask me out.A friend once told me I am a paradox -- that I am egalitarian in terms of wanting to be respected as a peer, yet I value chivalry; that I am a sociable introvert; and that, as independent as I am, I like being in a relationship. Personally, I don't think I'm very hard to figure out. I think the best overall solutions are arrived at if all parties are honest, open, and lay all their cards on the table face-up; only then can the optimal choice be made that works best for everyone. Maybe that is the idealist -- the engineer -- in me. But the side of me that appreciates traditional roles says that my world is right-side up if you take the initiative to ask me out, to lead, to ask for my input, and to get the doors for me -- and for the elderly ladies entering the restaurant behind us. :) Traits I value: being thoughtful and considerate, being helpful, being respectful and respectable, being debt-free, intelligence, leadership, loyalty, a good work ethic, singing on-key, healthy living, mental and emotional balance, being able to disagree without being disagreeable, competence, being handy, good hygiene, smelling clean, a clean sense of humor, and being able to find the beat (if you don't dance yet, you will if you date me for long!). Also, while I have a good variety of friends, I only date guys who are white, U.S. citizens, at least 5'11'', have at least a bachelor's degree, and don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. You don't have to be a 10, have all your hair, look like you live at the gym, or be an extrovert, but I hope you're at least decent looking, reasonably fit, be able to carry on an intelligent conversation, and have all your teeth! :) My best friends over the years have been engineers, doctors, and scientists, and often with entrepreneurial interests or management experience -- so that is probably who I'd be the best match with.So, what about you? What curious bi you tick? What makes you think we might be a good match? Your pic gets mine.P.S. Reasons I won't write you back: if you're rude, mean, immoral, smoke, drink, do drugs, or send me just a picture or something generic (you'll have to write me something of substance!).

'''''''' Lookin for a good man '''''''''' (60188, Carol Stream, IL)
So a little about me. Well I live with my mom and two year old sister. I recently got a job and am working on getting car. I'm 5'4ish and on the thick side. I have redish brown hair and brown eyes. I love movies and nights in I don't mind going out. Not a high class girl. I'm a jeans and tee shirt kinda girl. I love curious bi kinds of music and enjoy just beig with someone who can understand me and just be there. I love cuddling.What I want is simple someone who loves me for me. I just want at the end of the night to have that ''I wish this night would never end feeling''. As long as you like to cuddle we are on the right foot. I don't care what you look like. Just be you and we will get along great.
